*yawn*
takin a break from my revision..so mind as well blogged abt my KL trip..haha..took quite a no. of pix actually, but most of them turned out too dark or blurry..so left only a handful of presentable ones..haha
Saturday
set off @ abt 8am..de journey from S'pore to KL took abt 4hrs plus (we reached KL @ abt 12plus to 1pm, i think) , includin de stoppin time @ Machap for our breakfast..my bro drove all de way sia..daddy offered to takeover halfway but my bro insisted on drivin de whole journey..as fo me, i was nappin on n off lah..wat to do..i only hv PDL now mah..wahahaha
took some time to find our hotel coz it's our 1st time there by ourselves..daddy's kinda an adventurer..he likes to explore places by himself rather den hirin a tour guide..haha..anyway, we stayed @ the Corus Hotel for 2 nights, along Jalan Ampang..it's very near de Suria KLCC & Petronas Twin Tower so we went there for a walk while waitin for our hotel rooms to b ready....

~~ The Petronas Twin Tower..day n night view ~~
~~ ( the world's tallest free-standin towers, standin @ a dizzyin height of 451.9m!!) ~~
there's so many stores in KLCC!! n is damn big..how i wish dat S'pore has such BIG shoppin mall den i can shop till siao..haha..but din buy anythin coz daddy says our aim is to explore places, not to go shoppin.. =( ..had lunch @ de Asian foodplace inside KLCC..i had Naan & Tandoori Chicken!! haha..it's de 1st time i ever tasted Naan n is quite nice!! was kinda surprised coz i'm not a big fan of indian cuisine ( except for roti prata..one of my all time fav food..haha )..they r too spicy for my likin..heez..
was lookin forward to goin up de towers to hv a nice view of KL..but unfortuantely, all de tix had been given out!! sianz half..went back to our hotel after dat..we requested for connectin rooms n de rooms r quite alrite, except dat they hv queen size bed instead of de usual 2 single beds!! i'm not used to sharin a bed wif anyone coz i will flip n turn every now n den when i zzz..haiz..but at least i'm sharin wif mummy..my daddy n bro sharin de other bed, n given my bro's size, it's gonna b 2 days of uncomfortable zzz for both of them..wahahaha...
rested in our rooms till evenin be4 drivin out to de Menara KL Tower!!

~~KL tower during day time..taken from some site..haha.. ~~

~~ de tower @ night time..sorry ah..v v dark..heez ~~
~~ ( de fourth tallest structure in the world standin @421m at the pinnacle of Bukit Nanas ) ~~
dinner @ Restoran Seri Angkasa, also known as de Revolving Restaurant ( ard 282m from de ground )..haha..amazin k..de restuarant literally revolves, although is @ a very slow speed..3 types of cuisine served there: western, chinese n i forget de other one..haha..tried all 3..de food's ok only but it costs abt RM100plus per person..quite ex considerin dat de variety n quality of food is so-so only..not even de durian puddin can make up for it..oh well..everythin also muz try den koe rite..took some pix but bro deleted away coz he thinks it's too dark..so no pix now lor.. =(

But i took dis instead!! haha..i dunno wat buildin dat is, but de camel looks v cute..haha..oh..dis was not taken in de restaurant..was taken at de bottom of de tower..heez
Sunday

~~ tian1 hou4 gong1 ~~
de temple is fully air-conditioned..haha..1st time goin to such temple..it's so crowded dat i lost sight of my mummy more den once..de disadvantage of being too short =(..after bai bai went to de kitchen juz beside for some "Zai4" ( vegetarian food )..after dat we were on our way out when i caught sight of de "shi2 er4 sheng1 xiao4" statues n insisted tkin pix of them..wif me of coz..haha

~~ us!! ~~
we hv to walked down de steep slope to de main road coz there isn't any cab ard..think we were like under de hot hot sun for abt 20mins or so..become darker liao =( ..finally managed to hail a cab to KL Sentral..daddy decided to go de other extreme end of de monorail station to see see, Titiwangsa, which turns out to b a poverty housin area..all de flats r very run down..so poor thing......
from there we took de monorail to Imbi station, to Berjaya Times Square..another BIG BIG shoppin mall!! haha..bought a book from Borders!! dat's my 1st purchase in KL lor..haha..went back to Concorde Hotel to collect our car n back to our hotel to rest..
drove to Petaling Street in de evenin, also known as Chinatown or Chee Chong Kai..pasar malam!! wheeeeeeeeee..but i was perspiring like mad only after a few mins..de street was damn crowded n all of us r too sweaty n irritated by all de pushin to enjoy de night market =( ..but i muz buy somethin!!! haha..so in de end bought a handful of accessory only..better den nothin..i had bak kut teh yee mee for dinner, while my parents n bro shared a pot of bak kut teh wif rice..it was tasteless lor..*blah*..after combin de street for abt half an hr..we stuff ourselves wif fried hokkien mee, fried kway tiao n a plate of "tie2 ban3 dou4 fu4" before headin back to hotel..haha..gluttons!!
Monday
had breakfast at de hotel be4 checkin out..was actually goin back S'pore tdy but daddy decided to stay for another day..moreover, it's gonna b damn jammed @ de causeway customs..so we booked 2 rooms @ de Concorde Hotel dis time coz it's juz beside de monorail station..haha..

~~ view from my hotel room ~~
be4 checkin in to hotel, we had our lunch @ Restoran Chef Choi, which is juz opp. our previous hotel..de service is excellent!! n so is de price on their menu..(-_-")..our lunch totalled to RM550!! haha..dat is damn ex for a lunch..but de food is quite yummy, so still acceptable lah..haha..opps..forgot dis part..we went in search of de Palace of the Golden Horse after dat..we tot we will b able to find horses there, but it turned out to be this:

~~ Palace of the Golden Horse ~~
it's a very very grand n apparently expensive hotel!! dis pix only shows like abt 1/5 of de actual hotel area..we went to check out de room rates n guess wat?? de normal room ( it was called Superior on de list ) costs abt RM750 for a night..n dat is only a single bed room, i think..haha..if i were to go on a holiday ( dat is, payin for myself ), i will definitely not spend so much on hotel rooms..haha..rather spend it on shoppin..heez..we proceeded to de Mines Resort City, or is it called Mines Wonderland? heez..forgot liao..it's actually a mini shoppin mall ( compared to KLCC n Times Square lah ) which provides lake cruises ard de outskirts of de mall..we took de North Lake Cruise which lasted abt 1 hr..dat includes de waitin time for de dam gates to open, for de water to b discharged to 7m below de mall's height ( so dat it will b at de same water level as de lake outside..if u koe wat i mean.. ), de 30mins tour ard de lake, n back inside de dam gates for de water to fill up to 7m again.. de scenery's quite nice i muz say, if not for de fact dat half de time i was strugglin to keep de umbrella from flyin away..(-_-")..

~~ on de water taxi ~~
went back to Chinatown after a short rest @ our hotel..we took de monorail dis time n alighted from station Maharajalela..walked for abt 10 to 15 mins be4 we reached Petaling Street..as it was still early, not all stalls r opened yet..so nothin much to see..had "gui4 ling2 gao1" be4 headin back to hotel..de gui ling gao is nice, considerin i dun really like it..it's a bit bitter for my likin, even after addin de syrup..haha..i like sweet stuff lah..
took de monorail to Bukit Bintang..walked de whole stretched of road n back be4 decidin to makan dinner @ Restoran Dragon View, somewhere near Bintang Plaza..had de usual "zhu2 chao3" dishes n a D24 durian from de nearby stall for dessert..mummy specially bought it to satisfy my cravin for durian..heez..Tuesdaybreakfast @ de hotel be4 headin back to S'pore.....back to my exam notes.........haizzzzzzzzzzz
